Re:Vi in JavaScript, in your browser on Thursday October 15, 2009 @04:56AM (#883021)
As a VIM user, these things irritated me:

1) I cannot delete the end of a line with this thing. Is that normal? Im only used to VIM so this might be a VI thing.

2) CLTR+ does not scale up the font size

Re:Using YQL to grab HN links on Sunday May 03, 2009 @09:25AM (#590821)
You can filter that with another grep for example:

  wget -O- news.ycombinator.com | grep -o 'title"><a href="[^"]*' | grep -o http.*

If you use Linux or some other Unix, you can also do it with standard Unix tools:

  wget -O- news.ycombinator.com | grep -o http[^\"]*
Personally, I prefer curl because it writes to stdout per default:

  curl news.ycombinator.com | grep -o http[^\"]*
(After posting this, i noticed that HN cuts * signs at the end of a message. So I have to add this text here, or the last * would not be displayed.)

Re:Experimental New York Times Interface on Saturday February 14, 2009 @07:45AM (#481081)
Looks like cuil.com

I would prefer they made a simple list like here on hn instead. Is there some general news site with a simple list of news on the web?

Re:Ma.gnolia.com crashes hard -- no backups? on Saturday January 31, 2009 @03:28AM (#459377)
Wouldnt these two solutions be even nicer?

* Backup the Binlog of the DB (At least its called Binlog in MySql)

or

* Make a diff of the uncompressed dump and zip that. This diff would even be human readable.

Re:Designing Web Interfaces: Standard Screen Patterns on Wednesday January 21, 2009 @09:32AM (#443237)
In my daily browsing, I often see Designs that are not on that list.

For example Hacker News is a very standard interface to me. I would call it "Forum".

"Search" looks like it has multiple columns, but in my daily experience the main characteristic of "search" is that it only has a single column of results. (Google, Amazon, Yeahit...)

Another standard Layout, I would call "Portal". Yahoo is an example. Most pages are more or less "Portal" these days. (Another name for "Portal" is "utter mess".)

Re:Pixlr - the online image editor on Tuesday October 28, 2008 @05:06AM (#346162)
Ditto. But Keyboard shortcuts dont work on my Firefox 2 here. Any idea why? For example, CTRL+C / CTRL+V doesnt work.
